It was Finger who said that the stiff bat wings should look like a cloak when Batman isn’t leaping off a building. Finger altered the color scheme so that Batman would have a gray bodysuit and have a symbol on his chest like Superman. Finger replaced the mask with a horned howl and decided to make the eyes white and blank, taking direct inspiration from the comic strip character the Phantom. Finger decided that this character would not just be a brawler but also a detective, someone who was “a combination of Douglas Fairbanks and Sherlock Holmes.”
